The campaign is a mutual effort of organization Belarusian Tribunal which aims at getting a greater attention to the problem of human rights violations in Belarus and Civil Initiative We Remember which affiliates family members of victims of involuntary disappearances in Belarus.
The campaign is an act of solidarity with political prisoners of Belarus, those who are whether already sentenced to or are threatened with long terms of imprisonment for political reasons, and with their families.
Every deputy of the European Parliament received an information folder with the actual data on the accused and sentenced on the 19 December criminal case, a postcard, produced by Belarusian artist Lera Krasovskaya and an envelope. Deputies will send the postcards to Belarusian political prisoners and/or their families. The action is moderated by former Foreign Minister of Estonia Kristiina Ojuland.
